FALSE CEILING (GYPSUM / POP) — AREA & COST CALCULATOR

Quickly estimate ceiling area, materials and cost for gypsum board (concealed G.I.) or POP. Add multiple rooms, deductions, wastage and accessory costs (lights, access panels, cornice). Pakistan-ready, but works globally with metric/imperial units.

Units & Ceiling System

Sets input labels and board size.
Choose gypsum (material breakdown) or POP (rate-based).
Allowance added to materials only.
Shown in results (e.g., PKR, AED, USD).

Rooms — Length × Width (add multiple)

Tip: For irregular areas, approximate by splitting into rectangles or use “Extra Area” below.

Openings, Deductions & Extras

Open-to-sky, skylights, major beams (area to subtract).
Irregular add-ons not in the room rectangles.
Qty of downlights/fixtures for costing.
Qty of inspection panels for MEP.

Rates & Allowances

Per unit area; gypsum or POP materials.
per m²
Per unit area; installation only.
per m²
Per cutout — cutting, edging, wiring prep.
PKR
Per panel — frame + cover (est.).
PKR
Rate per running ft (uses total perimeter).
per rft
Standard gypsum sheet size.
Main @4ft/1200mm, Furring @2ft/600mm.

Assumptions for gypsum: boards 1200×2400mm (≈2.88m²) or 4×8ft (32ft²); main channels @1200mm (4ft), furring @600mm (2ft), perimeter angle = room perimeter; ~50 screws/board; jointing compound ≈0.45kg/m² (20kg bags). POP is priced per area (materials+labour); material breakdown varies by mix and thickness — confirm with your contractor and local codes.
